A BAD CASE OF STRIPES by David Shannon

This book is about teaching the reader to always be themselves. In the book the main character Camilla, changes into what ever people want her to become what ever they want her to become.This makes her feel very sad and left out.In the end she learns to be herself.

For me the saddest part of the book is when other people treat her differently because they do not understand her.

I would recommend this book to any kid who thinks they should become other people.I think both boys and girls who are 5-19 to read this book.

AMELIA'S BULLY GUIDE by Marissa Moss

Amelia starts fifth grade and is met with new experiences, some good--Space Camp--and some bad--getting bullied, by a very mean girl named Hilary. Now she has to   try to get of Hilary and get through Space Camp.

My favorite part was when she screamed at Hilary. She really stood up for her  self. This book was the best.

I would recommend this book to girls who are ages 9-12.
